I know these boots get a lot of flack for how clunky they look and what-not, but I got an honest question.

Considering that most of these steel-toe'd ranger-boots are hi-shine leather (A.K.A corrected), are even the higher-end models worth it? These boots would set me back 175€ and I'd expect a good amount of usage from them. They are hand-construced in England. I already have a (used) pair of Solovair Southerners and MiE-14i-Docs and they both feel better constructed than my Asian Docs.

I understand that corrected leather will never stand up to the same out of beating as full-grain, so is the quality control just so much better that the price would be worth it?
